It is not a question of who will win this match it is a question of by how many will England put past an Italian side, who have failed year in year out to improve their standard. For many the continued presence of Italy in the Six Nations is becoming negative, with plenty of rugby plaudits suggesting that Italy should play in a Six nations B Tournament against the B sides of the traditional Nations. Certainly with only one win in their last twelve matches and only a handful since making up the Six Nations in 2000, something has to be done.
England, despite being the away team England are massive 1/12 odds on to win the match with Italy a forlorn and hopeless bet at 11/1. These odds are courtesy of Ladbrokes but rugby punters are best advised to bet on the handicap or in the Winning Margin markets. The handicap market has England at 10/11 for a -14 with Italy 10/11 for a +14. While the following Winning Margin bets all look good value to us:

England will delighted to welcome back Rikky Flutey in the centre, who missed out against Wales with a slight knock. He should provide the perfect foil for Johnny Wilkinson at Outside half, to bypass much of the anticipated Italian spoiling midfield play, which was such a feature of the Italian strategy against Ireland last week. The Wilkinson/Flutey combination should provide more ball for the England wingmen Ugo Monye and Mark Cueto, who are both good bets at 7/1 to score the first try with Ladbrokes.
